Pushing for VBACs in Florida!
June 22, 2009 3 Comments
Please consider donating to this extremely worthwhile cause. In Florida, freestanding birth centers aren’t allowed to do VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). In other words, the state is telling ladies how and where they can have their babies!
Through midnight tonight, donations are being matched.
True-and-only-somewhat-related story: I went to a Mom’s Night Out with a bunch of other ladies last month. Out of the seven of us at the table, only two of us had vaginal deliveries, one of them being, of course, me — with twins! WTF!

That’s awesome!!!!! And, SOGC (canada) just came out with a new guideline about not automatically doing cesareans for breech babies. Some day, we will be back to doing it the way intended (but I think I’ll keep the epi…lol) http://www.sogc.org/media/advisories-20090617a_e.asp
At our bookclub a few weeks ago (8 of us) no one had a vaginal birth. SMH is bs if you ask me…their c-section rate AND infection rate (seriously, it’s gross) is outrageous. Okay, vent over. We still need to hook up soon…
